  • Spirituality, Diversity, And Gifts.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 18, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,663 views

    No-one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

    SPIRITUALITY, DIVERSITY, AND GIFTS. 1 Corinthians 12:1-11. 1. Concerning spirituals (1 Corinthians 12:1-3). “Now concerning spirituals,” begins this passage (1 Corinthians 12:1). This may be masculine, ‘spiritual people’. However, given the emphasis away from individualism to “Jesus is ...read more

  • A Sinner Saved

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 8, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,610 views

    A miraculous catch of fish, and the commencement of the Church's ministry.

    A SINNER SAVED. Luke 5:1-11. I can remember reading a quaint old book by a Puritan whose only acknowledged qualification for conducting a Christian ministry was, ‘Sinner Saved’. Without that we are either honestly mistaken, or really just charlatans and frauds! This begs the question, ‘What ...read more

  • The Prodigal Son.

    Coming back to our senses in the far country.

    THE PRODIGAL SON. Luke 15:1-3, Luke 15:11-32. ‘Horror of horrors!’ proclaimed the scribes and Pharisees. The tax-collectors and ‘sinners’ were drawing near to hear the words of Jesus! The three parables which follow in Luke 15 show the calm response of the Master. The parables have a common ...read more

  • A Lost Sheep And A Lost Coin.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 5, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,550 views

    Man in sin is lost, whether he is aware of it or not. Jesus came to seek that which was lost. The testimony of Christians is, I once was lost, but now am found.

    A LOST SHEEP AND A LOST COIN. Luke 15:1-10. In the first parable of today’s reading we see the caring shepherd. He left his ninety-nine other sheep in order to seek the one that was lost, until he had found it. This is an image which is familiar from both the Old Testament and the New Testament: ...read more

  • O Ye His Saints.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 934 views

    Saints are humble folks who revere the Lord.

    O YE HIS SAINTS. Psalm 34:1-10, Psalm 34:22. David was ‘on the run’ from king Saul. Mistakenly thinking that he might find refuge with the Philistines, he only escaped from their clutches by feigning madness (cf. 1 Samuel 21:10-15). Then he hid in a cave. Knowing that David was in this place, ...read more

  • From Prayer To Praise.

     | 335 views

    Be merciful. My heart is fixed. Be thou exalted.

    FROM PRAYER TO PRAISE. Psalm 57:1-11. This is a beautifully crafted Psalm which, according to the title, was written by David ‘when he fled from Saul in the cave.’ The Psalm has two sections: first a prayer (PSALM 57:1-6); then second, praise (PSALM 57:7-11). Each section opens with a repeated ...read more

  • Where Is He That Is Born King?

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,898 views

    Wise men still seek Him.

    WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN KING? Matthew 2:1-12. MATTHEW 2:1. This verse simply states that “when Jesus was born in Bethlehem” there came “wise men from the east to Jerusalem.” MATTHEW 2:2. The visitors were forthright. They were come seeking the one “born King of the Jews.” It is unusual for ...read more

  • Imprecations In Context.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 19, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 287 views

    To attack God's people is to attack the LORD Himself!

    IMPRECATIONS IN CONTEXT. Psalm 83:1-2, Psalm 83:13-18. Today’s Psalm begins, “Keep not silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still O God” (PSALM 83:1). As if He ever would, when to attack God’s people is to attack the LORD Himself! ‘Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence,’ ...read more

  • The Call Of Wisdom

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 23, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,158 views

    Make me an offer I can't refuse!

    THE CALL OF WISDOM. Proverbs 9:1-6. Even before she invited us, Lady Wisdom “built her house” (Proverbs 9:1). The hewing out of Lady Wisdom’s “seven pillars” speaks of completeness (unlike the ‘folly’ in Edinburgh which was never completed), spaciousness, and endurance. ‘I go to prepare a ...read more

  • Praising The Beauty Of Holiness.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 31, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 338 views

    Before we can talk about the “city of our God” we must recognise and acknowledge the God of the city. The Bible does not begin with Jerusalem, but with God. The New Testament does not begin with the church, but with Jesus.

    PRAISING THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS. Psalm 48:1-7. This psalm begins with a simple statement of fact: “Great is the LORD” and, because of the greatness of the LORD, He is “greatly to be praised” (PSALM 48:1a). Where is the LORD to be praised? In the place that God has chosen (cf. 2 Chronicles ...read more

  • Drawn Into The Family Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 26, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,091 views

    What it means to be heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ.

    DRAWN INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD. Romans 8:12-17. 1. The mortification of sin (Romans 8:12-14). Paul has just commented that “if Christ is in you the body is dead on account of sin” (Romans 8:10). And that “the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead will also quicken (revivify, make ...read more

  • The Passion According To John.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,023 views

    Good Friday.

    THE PASSION ACCORDING TO JOHN. John 18:1-40; John 19:1-42. 1). THE ARREST OF JESUS. John 18:1-14. JOHN 18:1-3. After the Passover meal, the institution of the Lord’s Supper, the Upper Room discourse, and Jesus’ great high priestly prayer, Jesus led His disciples over the brook Kidron to the ...read more

  • Jesus Upon The Cross.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,690 views

    Hope in the midst of suffering.

    JESUS UPON THE CROSS. Psalm 22:1-15. The details of the sufferings in Psalm 22:1-21 match more exactly the anguish of Jesus upon the Cross than anything that we can find in any of the written records of David’s life - and because of this the church has always read this Psalm of David as a ...read more

  • The Dew Of Hermon

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 10, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 13,126 views

    The knitting together of kindred hearts in covenant love.

    THE DEW OF HERMON. Psalm 133:1-3. I like the Scottish Metrical version of this Psalm: “Behold, how good a thing it is, and how becoming well, Together such as brethren are in unity to dwell!” A good one to sing, perhaps, as we break bread together. “Behold” calls us to look carefully, ...read more

  • Parable Of The Great Supper.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 24, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,307 views

    It is not only an invitation, but also a command.

    PARABLE OF THE GREAT SUPPER. Luke 14:15-24. LUKE 14:15. “Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God,” remarked one of the guests sitting at table with Jesus. How sincere the remark was we may only conjecture: but it is, on the surface, a true enough sentiment. But it is one thing ...read more
